Modules & Options

We’re all about delivering the precise software experience you need for your organization. That’s why we provide a variety of modules and options to best suit your organization. Here’s a glimpse into a few of the modules and options available with our equipment scheduling software.

Automated Notifications

Email Notifications and Calendaring

The Messaging Module Module enables staff to communicate confirmations and configurable reminders to customers via e-mail as well as allowing customers to subscribe and populate personal calendars with WebCheckout event data.

Configure the intervals, frequencies, and circumstances under which messages and reminders can be sent.

Control who can send messages and allow customers to opt out of receiving messages.

Customize the content of messages and view logs of all messages sent.

Allow customers to subscribe WebCheckout events to their personal calendars.

Push WebCheckout event data to departmental public calendars to display all events or availability for specific resources.

Sophisticated Staff Scheduling

The Personnel Scheduling Module facilitates the scheduling and assignment of staff for events via an availability polling paradigm. Staff can create roles and organize personnel according to user-assigned proficiencies to poll for availability electronically, assign positions based on intelligent information. Assigned roles can be added to most desktop and mobile calendars to serve as reminders to staff for upcoming events.

Create and assign unlimited roles to organize your personnel.

Track responses, select and confirm personnel directly within the module.

Save time by communicating with appropriate staff “en masse” and not having to manually track and collate responses.

The WebCheckout Personnel Scheduling Module solves the frustrating task of shift and staff scheduling of full and part-time student employees. The volume and turnover of new students, last-minute schedule changes, and unplanned absences make this arguably the most challenging staff to manage.

Students and part-time staff are able to manage their own availability calendar interface, indicating when throughout the semester they are available to work. Managers select from the pool of available candidates to staff pre-existing shifts or create shifts based on submitted availability.

Last minute changes? No problem! The Personnel Scheduling Module allows managers to broadcast open shifts to everyone or just those who have been placed into groups commensurate with their capabilities. In either case, the manager is the arbiter who approves all schedule or shift changes.

We use our long standing expertise in Higher Education to integrate with central course enrollment systems to prevent student employees from being scheduled when their classes are in session. Managers can regulate the total number of hours an employee may work and report verified timesheets back to central administrative systems for reimbursement from the Federal Work-Study Program.

Like all of WebCheckout, the Personnel Scheduling Module is a browser based application that leverages email and personal calendar client applications as well as all other browser enabled devices to accomplish its objective. All schedule changes are pushed out and updated without any student intervention.

Manage Maintenance & Repairs

Track and manage equipment maintenance and repairs with the Help Desk & Repair Module. This module facilitates problem-solving and task-tracking for resources through an integrated “ticketing” system.

Problem reports from customers and technicians prompt removal of equipment from the circulating pool.

Equipment Pooling & Bundles

Reservation by Resource Type is a specialized scheduling module aimed at high volume sites with large orders. It allows reservations to be made, but allows the selection of the particular item to be postponed until the time of the pickup or delivery. The result is that orders can be filled more quickly and flexibly, based on the inventory available at the time of the order.

Be more efficient with your inventory, yet still prevent double-booking

Have more flexibility with your customers based on inventory on hand

More easily deal with the impact of lost, damaged, or late returns

Media Management

WebCheckout’s Media Management module gives you the ability to manage circulating media libraries using bibliographic data. Operators are able to import data from many library systems and provide the search terms that increase the likelihood that patrons find the title they’re looking for. Media titles are bookable in the Patron Portal and can be included on reservations along with other resources.

Certification

WebCheckout’s scheduling and inventory management prowess is second to none. Designed into the system are a variety of ways of controlling access to specific resources based upon enrollment, status or designation. Occasionally, access to resources needs to be governed by other factors such as proficiency. WebCheckout’s Certifications Module provides a simple, yet effective way to grant access to these restricted resources either in perpetuity or for a limited time. Authorizations made in the Certifications Module apply to reservations made by your Operators or made through the Patron Portal.
